This command is using the cosign copy command to copy a container image from a source registry to a destination registry. Here is a breakdown of the command:

cosign copy: This is the command being executed. It is part of the cosign tool, which is used for Container Signing and Verification for Kubernetes.

${example-com-src:latest}: This is the source image reference. It contains the name of the source registry (example-com-src) and the tag (latest) of the container image you want to copy.

${example-com-dest:latest}: This is the destination image reference. It contains the name of the destination registry (example-com-dest) and the tag (latest) under which the source image should be copied.

In summary, the command is copying a container image from the source registry (example-com-src) with the tag latest to the destination registry (example-com-dest) with the same latest tag.
